The first marathon

2,500 years ago  (1) there was a war between Greece and Persia and (2) there were a lot of battles. (3) There was a big battle in a place called Marathon, which the Greeks won”. This was important news, but (4) there wasn't any internet and (5) there weren't any telephones. So a man called Pheidippides ran to Athens with news of the battle. He ran about forty-one kilometres. (6) There weren't any good roads, so it was a difficult journey. When he arrived in Athens, he died.   

Tạm dịch:

Cuộc đua marathon đầu tiên

Cách đây 2.500 năm đã xảy ra chiến tranh giữa Hy Lạp và Ba Tư và đã có rất nhiều trận chiến. Có một trận đánh lớn ở một nơi gọi là Marathon, quân Hy Lạp đã thắng. Đây là một tin quan trọng, nhưng không có internet và không có điện thoại. Vì vậy, một người tên là Pheidippides đã chạy đến Athens để đưa tin tức về trận chiến. Anh ta đã chạy khoảng 41 km. Không có bất kỳ con đường nào đễ đi, vì vậy đó là một cuộc hành trình khó khăn. Khi đến Athens, anh ta đã chết.
